Abstract

This study elucidates the relationships between social capital and the period in which the residential area was developed. By using GIS and old topographical maps, we identified the development periods as t1 (pre-1890) to t5 (post-1980) for the residential area, in which the samples (n=10, 878) of a large-scale questionnaire survey were located, in the Japanese Chita peninsula. Logistic regression analysis was then conducted using the 12 social capital index as dependent variables, and the development period of the residential area as independent variables. We summarize the results as follows: (1) the social capital is higher in the older residential areas, especially for structural social capital compared with cognitive social capital; (2) samples of t4 (1960-1980) have different characteristics from the other development periods; (3) even after the control for the individuals' years of residence, the older residential areas still exhibited higher levels of social capital.
